2 Korintuh 7
1 Ka püi he aw, khyütam avan mi hama pyana kyaki. Pumsa la mlungmthin nghmüimkhya mtüihkhyehnak üngka naw mi ngcimcaih u lü, Pamhnam kyühnak am mi xüngsei vai u.
With these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that pollutes either body or spirit, and, in deepest respect for God, aim at perfect holiness.
2 Nami mlung k’uma hmün jah mhäng pe ua; ua khana katnak am kami pawhki, u pi am kami kpyehki, ua ka pi hleihlak u lü am kami ka naki ni.
Make room for us in your hearts. In no instance have we ever wronged, or harmed, or taken advantage of, anyone.
3 Acun cun ka ning jah mkateinak vaia ka pyena am kya ve, thih üng thih hmaih vai, xüng üng pi xüng hmaih vaia; kami ning jah mlungei naki ti ajana ka ning jah mtheh päng ni.
I am not saying this to condemn you. Indeed, I have already said that you are in our heart, to live and die together.
4 Aktäa ka ning jah üpangnaki, aktäa ka ning jah awhcah naki, aktäa mlung dimnak am ka beki, kami khuikhanak naküt üng pi jekyainak am ka beki.
I have the utmost confidence in you; I am always boasting about you. I am full of encouragement and, in spite of all our troubles, my heart is overflowing with happiness.
5 Maketawnih khawa kami pha üng pi am xüiei u nawng, ahawia pi khuikha u lü kami awmki; kpunga ngtunngvawknak la mlung k’uma kyühkyawknak am kami awmki.
Ever since we reached Macedonia, we have had no rest in body or mind; on every side there have been troubles – conflicts without, anxieties within.
6 Cunsepi, ami mlung hnemki ktha jah pekia Pamhnam naw Tihtuha lawnak vai am jah dim’yesak ve;
But God, who encourages the downcast, has encouraged us by the arrival of Titus.
7 a lawnak dänga am kya lü, nami vedamnak, nami kyahnaka khana nami kthanakea mawng na jah mtheh se nangmi üngka dim’yenak naw na dim’yesak ve; acunakyase ka jekyai beki ni.
And it is not only by his arrival that we are encouraged, but also by the encouragement which he received from you; for he tells us of your strong affection, your penitence, and your zeal on my behalf – so that I am happier still.
8 Ka ca yuk naw ning jah thüisak sepi am ning jah maih nawng. Ka yuk law kcük naw a ning jah thüisak cen üng ka ning jah maih haw khai sü.
For, though I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it. Even if I were inclined to regret it – for I see that my letter did cause you sorrow though only for a time –
9 Tuhkbäi ka jekyaiki, ka ning jah pukset saka phäha am kya lü, nami puksetnak naw a ning jah ngjutsaka phäha kyaki. Acuna puksetnak cun Mhnama sumeia kyaki; keimi naw kami ning jah mkhuimkhakia am kya.
I am glad now; not because of the sorrow it caused you, but because your sorrow brought you to repentance. For it was God’s will that you should feel sorrow, in order that you should not suffer loss in any way at our hands.
10 Pamhnama ngjakhlüa puksetnak naw küikyanak pha lawsakia kyase am danga am kya, khawmdek mlungthuinak naw ta thihnak ni a lawpüi.
For, when sorrow is in accordance with God’s will, it results in a repentance leading to salvation, and which will never be regretted. The sure result of the sorrow that the world knows is death.
11 Pamhnama ngjakhlüa nami mlungthuinak naw, nami khana ngmangnak a bilawh he cun, sitiknak, am dawki am nami biloki tia ngdang hlünak sak, katnak hnengnak la katnak kyühnak, nami na ngaihnak la kthanak, katnak pawhki mtai pet vaia nami ngaihnak hea kyaki.
For see what results that other sorrow – sorrow in accordance with God’s will – has had in your case. What earnestness it produced! What explanations! What strong feeling! What alarm! What longing! What eagerness! What readiness to punish! You have proved yourselves altogether free from guilt in that matter.
12 Acunakyase, ca ka yuk law üng pi mkhyekatkie la ami katnaka phäha ka yuka am kya. Pamhnama hmuha kami veia nami kthanak cen nami ksingnak vaia ka yuka kyaki ni.
So, then, even though I did write to you, it was not for the sake of the wrongdoer, or of the man who was wronged, but to make you conscious, in the sight of God, of your own earnest care for us. And it is this that has encouraged us.
13 Acunakyase, kami ktha beki. Keimia ktha benak dänga am kya, Tihtuh naw ihlawka jah jesaki ti cun ania cehnak hüa nami kpüia phäha kyaki.
In addition to the encouragement that this gave us, we were made far happier still by the happiness of Titus for his heart has been cheered by you all.
14 Am nami na helatsakia kya se ania veia ka ning jah awhcah naki. Akcang cun nami veia angläta kami pyenki, acunkba kunga Tihtuha veia ka mi awhcaknak naw mdanki ve.
Although I have been boasting a little to him about you, you did not put me to shame; but, just as every thing we had said to you was true, so our boasting to Titus about you has also proved to be the truth.
15 Aning jah mtheinak nami ngai hlünak, kyühnak la ngkhyetnak am nami dokhamnak he jah ksing lü ning jah jawng law na ksetamki.
And his affection for you is all the greater, as he remembers the deference that you all showed him, and recalls how you received him with anxious care.
16 Ahmäi üng ka ning jah üpnaka phäha ka jekyaiki.
I am glad that I can feel perfect confidence in you.
